How to fix an Epson L3258 printer error and get it printing
There comes a moment when the printer stops printing and shows an error:
The ink pad needs service. Contact Epson.
Service required. A printer’s ink pad is at the end of its service life. Please contact Epson Support.
The waste ink pad counter on Epson printers overflows during printing and eventually blocks the printing process. This is not a printer malfunction, and the issue can be resolved by yourself using a program. Here are the steps to do so:
- Download and install a waste ink counter reset utility.
- Purchase a waste ink counter reset code.
- Reset the error using the code.
The Epson L3258 printer will then be able to continue printing.
